Train Services
On Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays from April till late October the volunteers operate a train service between Middle Engine Lane (Museum) and Percy Main Village, a round trip of around 4 miles. Volunteer duties include: Steam Engine Driver, Locomotive Cleaner, Guard & Operations Controller. The trains are usually hauled by a steam locomotive however a diesel replacement may be required at times. The railway often hosts popular special events such as a Halloween Special, a 1940s day and Santa Specials.

Famous quotes containing the words train and/or services:
“Still, I am prepared for this voyage, and for anything else you may care to mention.
Not that I am not afraid, but there is very little time left.
You have probably made travel arrangements, and know the feeling.
Suddenly, one morning, the little train arrives in the station, but oh, so big
It is! Much bigger and faster than anyone told you.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
